Head of State and Gemini
Head of State keeps the same officers and replaces the Flag's face with the Head of State. It adds five Drones and two Snipers, and Privates drop from six to three. Gemini keeps that roster, swaps the objective for Castor, and adds one Pollux.

The Spy
A Spy eliminates the 5-Star General, every general under that, and every officer through the Sergeant. It does not eliminate a Private. A Private that attacks a Spy removes the Spy and stays. Two Spies that meet remove each other. Keep at least one Private near the Flag so a Spy cannot walk through the last line for free.
The Flag
The Flag does not win a battle. Any piece that moves onto it captures it, and that capture wins the match. You can also win by moving your Flag onto the enemy back row when no adjacent enemy can take it. If you attack with the Flag and lose, you lose the game.
Same-rank officers remove each other. That is the whole comparison for ordinary pieces: lower number stays, equal numbers both go, the Spy and the Flag follow the exceptions above.
Questions on this page
What beats the Spy?
A Private. The Spy eliminates officers from the 5-Star General through the Sergeant. Spy versus Spy removes both.
What happens when two pieces have the same rank?
Both are removed. The square ends empty.
Can the Flag win a battle?
No. The Flag loses any fight it starts. Capturing the enemy Flag wins the match.
